About Lorna

Lorna Wilson helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and a wide range of life problems using a person-centred way of working. She is an Accredited Member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 19 years' experience.

She trained to be a counsellor after seeing how therapy changed her own life, and she holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling. Lorna uses a person-centred approach as her core model, which means she focuses on building trust and a collaborative working relationship.

In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people talk through what matters to them. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when these fit the concerns being discussed. Traumatic experiences are addressed with trauma-focused approaches when appropriate.

Lorna has worked in different settings over nearly two decades, including time-limited services, and has supported people with depression, self-esteem difficulties, anger issues, bereavement and family relationship problems. She also has experience with parenting stresses, addiction-related concerns and workforce pressures.

Her practice takes account of cultural and minority stress, including LGBT and multicultural concerns, and she can help people coping with life changes such as midlife questions, financial strain or caregiving burden. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How Lorna uses therapy approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it focuses on actions that reflect personal values; this can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Client-centred therapy concentrates on a trusting therapeutic relationship and listening; it is useful when someone needs time to make sense of difficult feelings and relationships.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention practices and grounding techniques to reduce rumination and improve sleep and stress management. These approaches are practical and often paired with short tasks between sessions to build coping skills in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lorna will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, and she will help decide which methods to focus on. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Registered or accredited professionals commonly use these benefits to help people balance therapy with work, family and caregiving commitments.
